old stuff update
Hi All;
The corvette dates back to 1998 and is built plate for plate in 1/96 scale from polystyrene, brass and aluminum. The ship is RCMS Agassiz an early Flower Class Canadian Corvette. The winch was made of old watch parts. If you look carefully you can see into the pilot house, and into the open space below the main gun. The only protection from the sea was a canvas shield. Guess where the heads were. The PBM is true kit bashing. The wing is modified from an old Airfix B-29. The fuselage is balsa and the rest is plastic sheet and old kit parts. When it was built there were no 1/72 kits of the machine. Always liked the aircraft and it was the only way to get one.
Regards, rjccjr
